Highly misleading or not PA and DE have a lot to answer for.  And who knew Idaho has become a hot bed for alternative lifestyles.

That map is highly misleading...

Another caveat: The map only shows, as Lumere puts it, "the top most distinctive popular artist for a state that hasn't already been selected for a more populous state."

Yeah, I was trying to figure out with this rational if there are still more people listening to Tegan and Sara in California than Idaho.

I saw that the other day and thought some of them were really weird.  Kurt Vile for Oregon?  Edward Sharpe for PA?

Lot of colleges in PA.  I never heard of Kelly Rowland.  I guess it was smart for Sufjan Stevens to name an album after Illinois. Metric in Minnesota is probably due to Illegal Alien Canadians coming down.

The Yo La Tengo WFMU covers show is on.

Basically, if you donate $100 or more to WFMU, Yo La Tengo will play any cover you ask them to play.

It isn't working out at all.

Listening to a Smiths/Lana Del Rey mashup right now called "This Charming Video Game." It actually works surprisingly well.

True. But AWOLNATION being Utah is a bit of a stretch. LOL. They got Florida right with Rick Ross.
